Instructions

Prepare the poaching liquid. In a large skillet add the sliced lemon, shallot, fresh herbs, wine, and water. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
Add the salmon. Place the salmon filets (skin side down) in the pan, season with salt and pepper, cover the pan, and poach for 5 to 7 minutes, depending on the thickness of the salmon.
Garnish and serve. Garnish the poached salmon with fresh herbs and a squeeze of lemon. If you'd like, you can drizzle hollandaise sauce on top before serving as well!
